Abstract.

In projection, Draco is close to round and shows no obvious indications of interactions [3]. Virial mass estimates [1] suggest that it is dark-matter dominated. Here I try to constrain the distribution of this dark matter. I model the galaxy as a spherical, collisionless system in equilibrium, located 72 kpc from the sun.
